The 2-day festival and concert are free to attend, welcoming to all, and costumes are encouraged. Additionally, there are a few official ticketed festival events that are optional. A community builder, Tomato Art Fest has steadily drawn larger crowds with each passing year. In 2021 an estimated 65,000 came to celebrate the event. The essence of Tomato Art Fest can really be found in the array of wacky and hilarious contests, and the Push, Pull & Wear Parade kicking off tomato weekend, full of floats and costumes.
